    Default Narrowcase Clock

    Here is my new narrowcase (Grandmother) clock.Just finished in Tasmanian Blackwood,Hermle triple chime movement with mooving moon dial.:eek:
    About 12 years ago I was asked to build a clock the 'image1' clock.This one is made in figured Tas blackwood no moon dial,square doors.Over the years I have made minor changes eg adding curved top door and moon dials,turnings on the side,slightly different mouldings.I have made about 10 of this style clock.I also have a complete new clock that I drew up the plans for,from scratch.You can see that clock also here on the forum under woodwork pictures.

    Originally I had the customer's plan but now I go off my clock plan I drew up (off the original).The finish is furniture lacquer ,Mirrortone,60%gloss.The figured clock I Linseed oiled.
    The movements I buy through the 'Hermle' dealer here in Tassie.Hermle is going through some big changes just now so I hope they will still make many variations in the dials and weight shells??? Thanks for your questions,I will be happy to answer more.

    Hi RazChris,

    That looks very, very nice indeed!

    Would put a guess on the number of hours that you spend on each clock?

    Lovely work!
    I have often noticed in clocks like this that the arch in the door is not made to follow the same arc as the arch in the dial. Is this a particular clockmaker's convention?
    Cheers

    Hi Chis!

    Your clocks are getting better and better! I love these two! Like the arch, too. Very classy work.

    Cheers,

    Steve and Jill!
